Navigating Social Life as an Introvert

Navigating Introvert Hangovers: 

Donnie and Stephanie discuss a seldom-discussed concept known as 'introvert hangovers.' 

These are periods of mental and physical exhaustion that introverts experience after spending prolonged periods in social settings. 

The hosts offer strategies on how to cope with such situations, emphasizing undertakings like spending time alone, practicing physical and emotional self-care, setting time limits for social interactions, and learning to tactfully decline unnecessary social events. 

They encourage listeners to embrace their introverted qualities and not to force themselves into social contexts that may lead to burnout. 

An important theme highlighted is the need for understanding and support from friends and family in helping introverts navigate their periods of 'hangover.'
